Question I'm Currently looking into buying my first acoustic Guitar and I'm wondering if you can give me any information as to the quality etc. of a specific guitar? It's a Takamine Acoustic Guitar Tabacco Burst Finish Model S-33. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Answer Hi Melissa, the Takamines I saw of that model were going for 150.00. At that price, it's a bit hard to plead the case for quality, but Takamine is a reputable manufacturer & I think that it's great for a first step. If you really like to play & decide to get serious, you can always get something better further on down the road, while if you decide that it's not for you, you're only out 150 bucks. So I'd say go for it. Hope that helps, if you need anything else, just drop me a line.
Peace - J.
